“Reconciliation and the Healing of Persons” considers the doctrine of the Incarnation, the person of Jesus Christ as the basis for reconciliation of persons to God, the doctrines of Justification and Sanctification, as well as the doctrine of Atonement. A unit on healing and the atonement will look closely at the issues of forgiveness of sin, physical healing, and the relationship of healing to God’s ministry of reconciliation through the church.
Dr. Ray S. Anderson, Senior Professor of Theology and Ministry at Fuller Theological Seminary, served on the faculty of the School of Theology from 1976-2009. He believed that the practical side of theology should be emphasized and his lectures are informed by years of pastoral counseling. In addition to teaching courses in Systematic Theology, he also regularly taught courses on Barth and Bonhoeffer. Anderson has published over 20 books, including "Judas and Jesus: Amazing Grace for the Wounded Soul" (2005), "The Soul of God--A Theological Memoir" (2004), and "The Shape of Practical Theology--Empowering Ministry with Theological Praxis" (2001). He was also a contributing editor for the Journal of Psychology and Theology.
Lecture content was part of Fuller Theological Seminary's Individualized Distance Learning (IDL) Program, which began in 1995. Since 1999, Fuller Seminary has expanded its programs, discontinuing IDL and adopting a mainstream online education approach.
